Bamboo Shoots?

I have eaten bamboo shoots in many different Asian cuisines, but wondering exactly what part of the bamboo are you actually eating? I have seen bamboo trees and was trying to figure out where and what exactly the "shoots" were.





thanks!!

Bamboo Shoots?
The shoots are the new sprouts coming out of the ground to form new stalks. They are no more than a few inches high and pointed. They are cut, trimmed and sliced to prepare them for eating.
Reply:the shoots
Reply:bamboo shoots are the soft tips of the stems of the bamboo plant
Reply:I really don't know


BUT I imagine it really is part of the roots


similar to Jerusalem Artichokes;;


again the young sprouts of a certain size before they get tough and hard....


I looked close at the can
